Christian Gets Dizzy When Tables Are Turned | Hashim | Speakers Corner | Hyde Park

Summary

The video script presents a comparison between Islamic and Christian perspectives on Jesus, his teachings, and the events surrounding his crucifixion. It highlights the differences in how the two faiths view the life and mission of Jesus, emphasizing the Islamic belief that Jesus was not crucified but instead saved by God and ascended to Heaven. The speaker discusses the Quran’s affirmation of this belief, contrasts it with biblical narratives, and highlights the importance of the original language of the scriptures. The speaker also touches upon the prophecies of Jesus’ second coming and his eventual role in defeating the Antichrist.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Quran affirms that Jesus (Isa, peace be upon him) was not crucified, and it appeared as if he was. This is a central belief in Islam that contrasts with Christian doctrine.
• 😀 The Gospels, which are in Greek, do not have eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life or crucifixion, as many early manuscripts are lost and the original language was likely Aramaic.
• 😀 Prophets, including Jesus, delivered their messages in the language of their people to ensure clarity and understanding. Jesus likely preached in Aramaic, not Greek.
• 😀 The Islamic belief holds that Jesus' prayers to God before his crucifixion were rejected, which aligns with God's will, rather than his own desire to avoid suffering.
• 😀 Christians believe Jesus' prayers were answered through divine will, but the rejection of Jesus' prayers before his crucifixion presents an ironic contradiction in their narrative.
• 😀 According to the Quran, Jesus will return in the end times to defeat the Dajjal (Antichrist), bringing peace and harmony to the world as part of the final prophecy.
• 😀 The Quran and Islamic teachings affirm that all Prophets, including Jesus, were protected from committing major sins, setting them apart from ordinary humans.
• 😀 The companions of Jesus fled during his crucifixion, unlike the companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who stood firm and protected him in times of danger.
• 😀 The Quranic story emphasizes that Allah did not abandon Jesus, as the Bible suggests with Jesus' cry of abandonment on the cross, reinforcing the Islamic belief of divine protection.
• 😀 The Quran asserts that Jesus did not die on the cross but was instead saved by God and ascended to heaven, a belief that contrasts with the Christian doctrine of the crucifixion.

Q & A

What is the main issue raised regarding the historical accuracy of the Bible in the script?

The main issue raised is the lack of original manuscripts for the Christian texts, with the speaker suggesting that the Bible's historical foundation is shaky and not supported by solid evidence like eyewitness accounts.

Why does the speaker emphasize the importance of language when discussing the teachings of Jesus?

The speaker emphasizes that Jesus (peace be upon him) would have preached in his native language, Aramaic, as every prophet delivers their message in the language they are proficient in, to ensure clarity and understanding.

How does the speaker compare the behavior of the companions of Jesus and Prophet Muhammad?

The speaker contrasts the companions of Jesus, who allegedly fled during his crucifixion, with the companions of Prophet Muhammad, who stood firm and protected him in dangerous situations.

What does the speaker say about the crucifixion of Jesus (peace be upon him) from an Islamic perspective?

From an Islamic perspective, the speaker asserts that Jesus was not crucified, as stated in the Quran (4:157-158). Instead, it appeared to others that he was crucified, but Allah protected him and he was not killed or crucified.

What is the significance of Jesus' prayer being rejected according to the speaker?

The speaker highlights the irony that Jesus' prayer to be saved from the crucifixion was rejected, even though Christian teachings suggest that prayers made in Jesus' name are always answered. This is used to argue that the crucifixion narrative does not align with the concept of God answering the prayers of righteous believers.

How does the speaker reconcile the differences between the Islamic and Christian views on the crucifixion of Jesus?

The speaker reconciles the differences by stating that in Islam, Jesus was saved and not crucified, as Allah protected him. In contrast, the Christian narrative teaches that Jesus' crucifixion was part of God's will, which the speaker questions, arguing it contradicts the belief that God would abandon His righteous believers.

What role does the speaker attribute to the second coming of Jesus in Islam?

The speaker explains that in Islam, the second coming of Jesus is a key prophecy. Jesus will return to defeat the Dajjal (the Antichrist), bring peace and harmony, and fulfill his mission as part of the end-time events.

What is the speaker's stance on the sinlessness of the prophets, including Jesus?

The speaker acknowledges that while prophets, including Jesus (peace be upon him), are protected from major sins, they are not sinless. They are considered better than ordinary people because they are protected from committing major sins.

Why does the speaker refer to the Bible's portrayal of Jesus' crucifixion as problematic?

The speaker points out that the Bible portrays Jesus' cry of abandonment on the cross, which contradicts the Christian belief that God will not abandon righteous believers. This inconsistency is used to argue that the crucifixion story does not align with Islamic teachings about Jesus.

What does the speaker mean by saying the message of Islam is 'clear and coherent'?

The speaker asserts that the message of Islam is clear and coherent, particularly regarding the life and mission of Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus was not crucified but was protected and ascended to heaven, and this view aligns with the Quran's teachings and provides a logical explanation in contrast to the Christian narrative.
